They have humor in common. She is 50, he is 34, and for two years, Florence Foresti and Alexandre Kominek have formed one of the most discreet couples on the celebrity scene. And the most
bankable
. While Foresti was sold out at the Olympia a few months ago, Kominek is scouring the columns on France Inter and is a hit with his new show
Bâtard sensitive
to the European in Paris. Winning combo.
Between them, it all started in 2022, it seems. It was that year that they made their relationship official. And at Roland Garros they appear together for the first time. In the stands of the famous Porte d'Auteuil tournament, the two comedians - sunglasses screwed on their noses - then appear very complicit in front of the photographers, sometimes huddled together, sometimes laughing.
“I paid for it”
A few weeks later, the couple appeared again during the 100th performance of
Vincent Dedienne's
Un soir de gala
show at the Marigny theater (Paris 8th), on June 27. Since then, there has been silence and discretion.
The fact remains that Florence Foresti recently agreed to say a few words to journalist Isabelle Ithurburu, in the program “50 minutes inside”. “Where did you find love?”, asks the presenter. “I paid for it. As I have a lot of purchasing power, I said to myself 'listen, if you have to give up a little note, give up a little Forest note',” quips the comedian of Lyon origin. Before returning to the age gap in her relationship, the taboo of which she dismantles in her latest show
Boys boys boys
. “It’s almost the norm. I have a lot of female colleagues, actresses and others who are like me with younger men.
The one who then says she is “very very happy” adds during the interview: “Of course, we think “is this your son?” But hey, people have the right to have preconceptions, etc. But I still have the impression that society's view today would be more severe with a slightly older man with a young girl than the other way around. So we have to say that we've come a long way, and so much the better, I'm happy about it. But hey, the day when it will be really great is the day when we will no longer pass judgment on either of them.”
“The most extraordinary person in the world”
For his part, Alexandre Kominek spoke for the first time about their story in the show “Quelle Époque!”, on France 2, in February. Facing Léa Salamé and Christophe Dechavanne, the comedian from Switzerland sang the praises of his famous companion. After the “What is Swiss in you?”, “What is Polish in you?”, “What is there your mother in you? and “What is Parisian in you?”, came the question that everyone was waiting for, namely, “What is Florence Foresti in you?” ; to which the artist responded frankly: “What do I have about Florence Foresti... I have... I have... She’s my girlfriend actually.” Then to complete with spontaneity: “It’s a person I met three and a half years ago now. And which is exceptional. And so in terms of work, creativity, laughter, generosity, simplicity... He is truly the most extraordinary person in the world.” It is said.
Before being the companion of Alexandre Kominek, whose past romantic life is unknown, Florence Foresti was in a relationship from 2006 to 2010 with Julien Mairesse, artistic director, director and scenographer. From this love story was born a little girl named Toni, in July 2017, now aged 16. Resolutely discreet about her private life, Florence Foresti spoke in the columns of
Paris Match
magazine in 2018 about how the birth of Toni had transformed her: “My daughter saved my life. I couldn't continue being Aunt Kronenbourg, getting drunk every night, even if I only have it every other week. It gives me inspiration, it keeps me young, curious and at the same time, it tires me and it makes me age. Getting up for her at 6 a.m. is fine... but she enriches me so much.”
